Sleek, modern home on Model Farm Road is fit for a Hilton

On a street beloved of doctors, apparently, No 6 on Hilton has plenty of plus points to show off it’s in rude health, writes Tommy Barker.

The outer suburban address Hilton, off Cork City’s western reaches and the Model Farm Rd, has been deemed ‘upmarket’ since its earliest days, with family homes here going back to the 1960s and ’70s, and much favoured down the decades with the ‘professional classes,’ being appreciated and pursued by doctors, dentists, and lawyers alike.

“If you weren’t well, you’d only have to open your door and call out your ailment and there’d be a medic along to look after you,” quips one of the owners of No 6 Hilton, as they prepare to move on.
